That I shall say good night till it be morrow.” - Romeo and Juliet
“This to hear
Would Desdemona seriously incline:
But still the house-affairs would draw her thence:
Which ever as she could with haste dispatch,
She'ld come again, and with a greedy ear
Devour up my discourse: which I observing,
Took once a pliant hour, and found good means
To draw from her a prayer of earnest heart
That I would all my pilgrimage dilate,
Whereof by parcels she had something heard,
But not intentively: I did consent,
And often did beguile her of her tears,
When I did speak of some distressful stroke
That my youth suffer'd. My story being done,
She gave me for my pains a world of sighs:
She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange,
'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful:
She wish'd she had not heard it, yet she wish'd
That heaven had made her such a man: she thank'd me,
And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her,
I should but teach him how to tell my story.
And that would woo her. Upon this hint I spake:
She loved me for the dangers I had pass'd,
And I loved her that she did pity them.
This only is the witchcraft I have used:
Here comes the lady let her witness it.” - Othello
“Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff
Life and these lips have long been separated:
Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.” - Romeo and Juliet
“All of Creation’s a farce.
Man was born as a joke.
In his head his reason is buffeted
Like wind-blown smoke.
Life is a game.
Everyone ridicules everyone else.
But he who has the last laugh
Laughs longest.”
“So will I turn her virtue into pitch,
And out of her own goodness make the net
That shall enmesh them all. ” - Othello
“Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners: so that if we will plant nettles, or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up tine, supply it with one gender of herbs, or distract it with many, either to have it sterile with idleness, or manured with industry, why, the power and corrigible authority of this lies in our wills.” - Othello

praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little
for a great praise: only this commendation I can
afford her, that were she other than she is, she
were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I
do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)”
“You cram these words into mine ears against
The stomach of my sense.” - The Tempest
“Lovers and madmen have such seething brains
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.
” - A Midsummer Night's Dream
“Bad is the world, and all will come to naught
when such ill-dealing must be seen in thought.” - Richard III
“I am settled, and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat. Away, and mock the time with fairest show: False face must hide what the false heart doth know.” - Macbeth

We bid be quiet when we hear it cry
But were we burdened with light weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain.” - The Comedy of Errors
“O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven keep me in temper I would not be mad!” - King Lear

Why did you wish me milder? would you have me
False to my nature? Rather say I play
The man I am.” - Coriolanus
“Love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
*Love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.*” - Romeo and Juliet
“Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.” - Hamlet
Читать полностью…“If love be rough with you, be rough with love
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.
Give me a case to put my visage in:
A visor for a visor! what care I
What curious eye doth quote deformities?
Here are the beetle brows shall blush for me.” - Romeo and Juliet
“Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.” - Romeo and Juliet
“...for the eye sees not itself,
but by reflection, by some other things.” - Julius Caesar
“To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep
No more and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub.” - Hamlet
“Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken."
(Sonnet 116)” - Sonnets
